Wearing traditional dress and headgear,
a Turkmen camel driver poses with his camel, laden with what
is most likely grain or cotton. Camel caravans remained the most
common means of transporting food, raw materials, and manufactured
goods in Central Asia well into the railroad era.

Shown here is the interior of
a textile mill that produces thread from locally grown cotton.
The location, though unidentified, is most likely in Tashkent which
is known for textile production. Because of the warm, dry climate,
Central Asia—and particularly Uzbekistan—was an ideal location for
growing and processing cotton for the entire empire.

family. The village of Grafovka

Ethnic Russian settlers to the Mugan
Steppe region, south of the Caucasus Mountains and west of the
Caspian Sea, established a small settlement named Grafovka.
The region is immediately north of the border with Persia.
Settlement of Russians in non-European parts of the empire, and
particularly in border regions, was encouraged by official
government policy and accounts for much of the Russian migration to
Siberia, the Far East, and the Caucasus regions.
